PRE-FEASIBILITY REPORT

Prepared by: Perfact Envirosolutions (P) Ltd. New Delhi -17- Khapa Padriwar Manganese Mine

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Background information Total resources of manganese ore in the country as on 1.04.2013 are placed at 475 million tonnes as per UNFC system. The manganese being the main raw material for manufacturing of steel is always in demand and 7 to 8 % growth of steel consumption is expected. The present proposal is for Khapa Padriwar Manganese Mine over an area of 7.088 Ha. (Khasara No. 40, Protected Forest Compartment no. 1588) of M/s Modern Mineral Industry located in village Khapa Padriwar, Tehsil Sausar, district Chindwara of Madhya Pradesh State. The proposed maximum production from the mine is 25,000 TPA. The applied lease area falls adjacent (within 150m N) from the Maharastra-Madhya Pradesh state boundary. Hence general condition is applicable on the project. Therefore, the project is considered as Category “A” project as per EIA Notification, 2006. Project Description Present proposal pertains to mining of Manganese ore in 7.088 ha at Khasara No. 4, part of Forest Compartment 1588. Area was prospected during 25.07.2009 to 24.07.2011. Area was applied for mining lease on 14.10.2009. Prior approval from Central Govt. for grant of mining lease granted vide letter no. 5/94/2010-M.IV dated 21.04.2011 as applied mineral is Schedule-I mineral. Application for the forest transfer of 7.088 ha land for non-forest purpose is uploaded to MoEF&CC portal on 05.12.2016. A Proposal no. IA/MP/MIN/61769/2017, File no. IA-J-11015/92/2017-IA-II(M) was submitted on dated 25th September, 2017 for obtaining ToR. The proposal was considered in the EAC meeting held during 23-24thOctober, 2017 for consideration of the ToR. During the meeting after the detailed discussion the PP submitted that they want to re-plan the proposal and requested the committee to allow them to withdraw the proposal. The Committee therefore deferred the proposal. Subsequently, an ADS has been generated to withdraw the proposal and re-submit fresh proposal online. This is a new mine. The applied is situated in a small hillock trending NW to SE. The highest point in the area is 372.5mRL in the middle top of hillock. The lowest point in the area is 331.5mRL on the eastern side of applied area. Area shows slope in all the directions. Kanhan River flows almost North to South is about 1.3 Km East from the applied area. The general slope in the applied area is almost towards East. The Manganese ore of Chindwara district are confined to portion of valley of Kanhan river situated in Sausar Tehsil. The strip of metamorphic and crystalline country in which Manganese ore deposit occurs is 25km from North to South with average width about 11 to 12 kms to west. The Mn silicate rocks are gondite. There are thin quartz veins and the manganese ore exposed in Pits. The mica schist is weathered and quartzites being resistant is exposed on top of hill. Geological reserve in the part of applied lease area is estimated at 1,44,840Tonnes while mineable reserve is estimated at 1,12,905 Tonnes. Production varies 20,160 tonne to 25,080 Tonnes. The life of mine based on present mineral reserve is expected to be about 5 years which will substantially goo up after the mine is fully explored. Mining will be done from top. Top soil if any, will be removed carefully and stacked separately for the plantation purposes. Semi-Mechanized open cast mining will be undertaken with drilling & blasting.

Prepared by: Perfact Envirosolutions (P) Ltd. New Delhi -18- Khapa Padriwar Manganese Mine by Modern Mineral Industry

Drilling and blasting will be done as & when required. Blasted material will be sorted and stacked in the yard. Waste and sub grade material shall be stacked on individual earmarked places. Bench height will be up to 3m with a minimum working width of 10m. Slope of the benches will be maintained. Transportation of mineral, sub-grade mineral and waste will be done with the help of tractor trolley, dumpers & trucks as per demand. Mining equipment will be Jack Hammer, Compressor, JCB Excavator 3D, Diesel operated pump. Sprinkling will be carried out. About 10KLD water will be required for sprinkling, plantation and drinking purpose. About 300 Liter Diesel per day will be required for mining equipment. Total 2638. cum of top soil and 90489 cum of OB/waste will be generated during Plan period. Soil will be stacked in 7.5m wide strip and used in plantation. Waste will be dumped in the dumping yard located within the mine site. Used oil will be stored as per prescribed norms and will be sold to authorized vendor. Statutory infrastructure like mine office, rest shelter, canteen and First Aid etc. will be maintained at site. There is no habitation in the applied lease area therefore resettlement will not be necessary. A green belt is proposed to be developed in the statuary width of 7.5m. of mining lease. Besides this, it is also proposed that plantation will be undertaken on the stabilized dumps as per conceptual plan. Project Cost along with analysis in terms of Economic Viability of the Project. The project cost is about Rs. 50 Lac. Manganese ore is always in demand in steel industry. Hence, the mine will always have economic viability as the market is already assured. The Manganese ore produced from this mine will be sold to the domestic Steel Industry. Analysis of proposal (Final Recommendations) The project is proposed to mine Manganese ore in an area of 7.088 Ha. It will provide direct employment to about 17 workers. Besides there will be indirect employment for transportation, canteen, repair shop, security etc. Most of the employment will be given to locals from the nearby village. Further, the share of indirect employment like increased purchasing power, dhabas and retail shops etc. is largely shared by local residents.

Khapa Padriwar Manganese Mine by Modern Mineral Industry

Regional Geology: The regional geology of the area is represented by named Gondite from the Gonds of Madhya Pradesh by Dr. L Permor, these are a series of metamorphosed rocks belonging to the Archean and Dharwar System & largely composed of quartz, spessartite, rohodnite and other manganese silicates. These rocks are supposed to be the product of the dynamic metamorphism of manganese ferrous clays and sands deposits during Dharwar time. The manganese ores of are confined to portion of valley of Kanhan river situated in Sausar tahsil. The strip of metamorphic and crystalline country in which Mn ore deposit occurs is 24 km from North to South with average width about 11 to 12 kms to west the strike of rocks in this area varies from S-E in southern part of the belt, to east in northern part. The rocks of the metamorphic ore as lenticular bands intercalated between there rocks occur as manganese ore as lenticular bands intercalated between their rocks occur as manganese silicate rocks associated manganese ore. The strike and dip of there manganferous bands conforms to the associated rocks. Dips are usually steep the Mn silicate rocks are gondite.

The ores are pyrollusite, psilomelane type but low grade i.e. percentage recovery of ore is low. The stratigraphic sequence is given below:

Group Formations Rock type Deccan Traps Amarkantak Varios bassalt flows Lameta Nodular Limestone, clay and Calcareous conglomerate Gondwana Group ----- Sandstone, clays, shales and coal seams etc. Sausar Lohangi Chorbaoli Manganese beraing quartzites, amphibolites ----- Pink gneisses, migmatites, unclassified gneiss and granulite Proterozoic Gneissic Amphibolites Complex Local Geology: The prospecting has been done and it reveals that it is covered by mica schist (weathered form) from the Gondite rock exposed on top of the hill. There are thin quartz veins and the manganese ore exposed in Pits. The mica schist is weathered and quartzites being resistant is exposed on top of hill. the general strike of rocks is E-W to SEE-NWN. The dips are vertical from 60 deg, 65 deg to 70 deg due south. Exploration Undertaken: Area has been explored with the help of one bore hole BH-1 near survey station T3. The depth of bore was about 24m. The reserve estimation at the present stage has been done by collecting samples and through bore hole, drilling method. The mineral reserve for manganese under approved category is sufficient to sustain production for 5 years (approx) period. Two manganese bands, running parallel and very close to each other with average width of 2m to 4m were observed during prospecting. Bore hole also confirm the intersection of two bands.

A schematic diagram may also be provided for the same. 31) A time bound Progressive Greenbelt Development Plan shall be prepared in a tabular form (indicating the linear and quantitative coverage, plant species and time frame) and submitted, keeping in mind, the same will have to be executed up front on commencement of the Project. Phase-wise plan of plantation and compensatory afforestation should be charted clearly indicating the area to be covered under plantation and the species to be planted. The details of plantation already done should be given. The plant species selected for green belt should have greater ecological value and should be of good utility value to the local population with emphasis on local and native species and the species which are tolerant to pollution. 32) Impact on local transport infrastructure due to the Project should be indicated. Projected increase in truck traffic as a result of the Project in the present road network (including those outside the Project area) should be worked out, indicating whether it is capable of handling the incremental load. Arrangement for improving the infrastructure, if contemplated (including action to be taken by other agencies such as State Government) should be covered. Project Proponent shall conduct Impact of Transportation study as per Indian Road Congress Guidelines. 33) Details of the onsite shelter and facilities to be provided to the mine workers should be included in the EIA Report. 34) Conceptual post mining land use and Reclamation and Restoration of mined out areas (with plans and with adequate number of sections) should be given in the EIA report. 35) Occupational Health impacts of the Project should be anticipated and the proposed preventive measures spelt out in detail. Details of pre-placement medical examination and periodical medical examination schedules should be incorporated in the EMP. The project specific occupational health mitigation measures with required facilities proposed in the mining area may be detailed. 36) Public health implications of the Project and related activities for the population in the impact zone should be systematically evaluated and the proposed remedial measures should be detailed along with budgetary allocations. 37) Measures of socio economic significance and influence to the local community proposed to be provided by the Project Proponent should be indicated. As far as possible, quantitative dimensions may be given with time frames for implementation. 38) Detailed environmental management plan (EMP) to mitigate the environmental impacts which, should inter-alia include the impacts of change of land use, loss of agricultural and grazing land, if any, occupational health impacts besides other impacts specific to the proposed Project. Minutes of EAC Meeting held during June 24-26, 2015 Page 87 of 89 39) Public Hearing points raised and commitment of the Project Proponent on the same along with time bound Action Plan with budgetary provisions to implement the same should be provided and also incorporated in the final EIA/EMP Report of the Project. 40) Details of litigation pending against the project, if any, with direction /order passed by any Court of Law against the Project should be given. 41) The cost of the Project (capital cost and recurring cost) as well as the cost towards implementation of EMP should be clearly spelt out. 42) A Disaster management Plan shall be prepared and included in the EIA/EMP Report. 43) Benefits of the Project if the Project is implemented should be spelt out. The benefits of the Project shall clearly indicate environmental, social, economic, employment potential, etc. 44) Besides the above, the below mentioned general points are also to be followed:- a) All documents to be properly referenced with index and continuous page numbering.

b) Where data are presented in the Report especially in Tables, the period in which the data were collected and the sources should be indicated. c) Project Proponent shall enclose all the analysis/testing reports of water, air, soil, noise etc. using the MoEF&CC/NABL accredited laboratories. All the original analysis/testing reports should be available during appraisal of the Project.
